documenting the progress of the work at hillington square

Monthly Archives: December 2015

We welcomed some very special guests to the Community Cafe yesterday! Father Christmas, with his donkeys and sheep visited for the afternoon at Hillington Square, and loads of you came to see them!

Children and their families from all over the area were invited to come along to the grotto, to meet Father Christmas and his friends. There were a range of craft activities and face painting on offer, with delicious food for everyone to enjoy.

Robert Clarke, Director of Housing at Freebridge said: “When Father Christmas came to the cafe last year, we really hoped that he’d be able to come along again this year – and we’re so glad he did! Being able to see everyone enjoying this fantastic afternoon in the heart of the community is really special, and we have seen lots of families making memories that they will carry long in to the future. A huge thank you to all those involved in organising the day, and of course Father Christmas himself!”

We hope you all had a fantastic time, and we hope you all have a very merry christmas and a happy new year!

We all had a brilliant time at the Hillington Square christmas lights switch on last Friday and we hope you did too! There were lots of christmas decorations getting made, including beautiful christmas baubles and christmas cards. Below are a few pictures that captured the evening!

A big thank you to Lovell who supplied the Christmas Tree once again for the square and to everyone that came.

Father Christmas is coming to town! He will be at the Community Cafe on Monday 21 December, 12 – 3pm. There will be a fantastic Christmas Grotto there, kindly made by the King’s Lynn Art Centre Trust with help from members of the European Volunteers Programme.

Come along and tell Father Christmas what you wish for this year, we hope to see you there!
